And so the wait begins ! .....

I'm gutted I've got build week 41 but no collection date yet.. well jealous

 

[VWROBERT]

I think it's just to keep the customer happy. When order gets to the factory they think it means. No Rush Build It When You Can lol

 

[VWROBERT]

Haha no probs I thought the guy saying it must of got it wrong but yea I guess when you think about how many dealerships there are and how many potential orders are taking place constantly you can see why they ended up with a backlog earlier in the year. Still rolling into a new week tomorrow so one week closer to us all getting the vans. Who's got what planned for theirs upon arrival? Any mods or adjustments?

Yeah a lot of dealers around the UK. I am looking into doing my own sound-proofing. Thinking of using Silent Coat, watched a few vids on Youtube and I looks simple to do but will have the carpet lining done by Pro's. Having side bars, Chrome fitted by dealer but holding off on roof rails as a few on here had leaking into van issues.

ah that's not good, have anyone in mind for the carpet lining? I've been going back and forth about doing it myself or having it done by an expert I did my crafter that I'm currently in now and it came out really well but its a lot of time and effort. I'm going for 30mm lowering, black side bars, front splitter and rear spoiler, I have hit a wall with the roof bars as there aren't many that I think are aesthetically pleasing.

I’m having my interior lined out by slidepods begging December with lesuire electrics also , 30mm lowered, sportline wheels , rear spoiler , front splitter

 

[Carlos Vandango]

I don't know what's worse... Waiting for the van to arrive or having the van sat on your drive waiting to get it converted.

nice was that the earliest date you could get? I want to get straight on mine when its here because I need it for work can really use it without it all set up and racked out

 

[B19DRG]

Yeah this was the first free spot , booked a while ago also , but there work looks good so happy to wait

Not got anyone in mind yet but the salesman at vwvc Preston has recommended a company close to the dealership they use, so will call and have a look round myself. Not leaving my new van at an Untidy workshop = Untidy job. lol

 

[B19DRG]

Today’s the day ! Fairly excited to say the least

 

[VWROBERT]

Wow you picking yours up today then ? Mid Nov for me I think. You must show us some pics.

 

[B19DRG]

Wow wow and wow , I’m in love with this thing , really chuffed with it.

Think it looks great on the sportline wheels with the 30mm drop

Stunning van. I had that grey on my t5 and it was such a nice colour really pops I think once you get a good shine on it. Enjoy!

Hi, I’ve ordered my Kombi from Preston & they recommended T4 Life around the corner. They’re on the Face Perv & put a few posts on. I’m in the same quandary as to where to get mine lined at.

STUNNING @B19DRG, I’m so excited about getting mine. I went for the T6 Sportlines in Gloss Black. But if they’re Matt Black then I could be tempted!

 

[bullock]

@B19DRG how are the VW 30mm drop? Do you have a T32? Would love to know if it's a good move as our imminent T32 will spend a lot of time with small loads

I really like the way it drives, handles and looks glad I did this and kept the warranty people happy !

Just phoned VWVC asked for an update of my van. Been told now wk42 but they said takes 4 weeks to deliver to uk.

 

[ST11 CLK]

I'm currently wk42. Been told 2-3 weeks for delivery. I don't think they have a clue lol just make it up as they go along until the day it gets made. I can't understand why it takes so long to bring a transporter over? Thought the drive would only take a couple of days

I know, my daughter worked for Ford and their cars took 3 weeks to be shipped from Europe. Think its paperwork documentation checks.
